PreSonus AudioBox® 96 Vocalist Express Bundle

The Complete High-Fidelity Recording Ecosystem with a Bonus Vocal Isolation Pack

Accelerate your student and multimedia workflows with a 2-in, 2-out high-definition audio interface, a pair of Class-AB active reference monitors, studio tracking headphones, a premium cardioid condenser microphone, and an exclusively included Samson heavy-duty desktop stand and pop filter pack. Run seamless vocal sessions, build crisp podcast tracks, and master digital media modules natively using the bundled perpetual license for Fender Studio Pro DAW software—all while monitoring your audio through pristine, acoustically calibrated playback.

Setting up a professional media lab or home studio requires rock-solid equipment stability and crystal-clear vocal tracking. Other retailers ship the standard factory package, but we are automatically upgrading your station by packing a brand-new Samson MD2/PS05 Microphone Desktop Stand & Pop Filter Bundle into your shipment at zero additional cost!

Say goodbye to flimsy tripod legs and distorted recordings [INDEX]. The ultra-stable, weighted 4-inch die-cast base keeps your PreSonus mic safely anchored to your desk, while the premium dual-layer nylon shield eradicates harsh vocal "P" and "B" pops from your tracks. It’s everything you need to hit record with professional confidence the exact second your box arrives!

At the Heart of this Vocalist Express Bundle is the PreSonus AudioBox USB® 96 Complete Bundle that represents the premier, all-inclusive recording platform engineered specifically to streamline audio technology training in K-12 classrooms, university media labs, and independent home studios. Rather than forcing instructors or student creators to piecemeal their recording setups together from fragmented brands—which frequently triggers driver conflicts and mismatched signal chains—this bundle delivers a perfectly calibrated ecosystem. At its core sits the rugged AudioBox USB 96 interface, housed in a heavy-duty, student-proof steel chassis that effortlessly survives back-and-forth travel between lecture halls, dorm rooms, and field recording setups while delivering professional 24-bit resolution audio.

For educators and school IT directors, this layout directly solves the logistical challenge of budgeting for multi-user software networks. Each bundle is automatically equipped with a perpetual license for Fender Studio Pro DAW software, giving students immediate access to a commercial-grade mixing and editing platform without recurring subscription costs. To ensure pristine vocal and instrumental capture during group work or podcast tracking, the included M7 MKII professional condenser microphone utilizes a tight cardioid polar pattern. This architecture actively rejects ambient classroom noise, computer fan hums, and nearby group chatter, allowing multiple student production stations to operate simultaneously in the same computer lab environment.

From a playback and post-production standpoint, the bundle eliminates tracking latency bottlenecks through the interface's internal analog mixer, which allows students to blend direct input signals with computer playback smoothly. For collaborative classroom editing, the station includes both the high-definition, feather-light HD7 professional monitoring headphones and a pair of active Eris 3.5 studio reference monitors. The Eris monitors feature built-in acoustic tuning controls and protective RF filtering, shielding the station from classroom wireless network interference while delivering an honest, uncolored mix frequency response. Complete with all necessary XLR, speaker, and USB-C interconnect cabling, this PreSonus kit serves as an incredibly cost-effective framework built to jump-start digital audio education.

Key Production Features for Education include:

• High-Fidelity 2x2 Audio Interface: Features two combination mic/instrument inputs with studio-grade preamps and +48V phantom power to drive professional condenser microphones.
• Perpetual DAW Software License: Includes standard access to Fender Studio Pro software, removing student subscription fees and providing professional mixing and sequencing tracks natively.
• Noise-Isolating Cardioid Microphone: The M7 MKII professional microphone with a 1-inch back electret condenser capsule isolates vocals from distracting classroom background noise.
• Eris 3.5 Acoustic Reference Monitors: Equipped with 3.5-inch woven glass fiber composite low-frequency drivers and 50W Class AB dual amplification for accurate, distortion-free playback.

• Zero-Downtime Cable Kit: Shipped complete with a 10-foot heavy-duty XLR microphone cable, interface USB connection cable, and speaker wires to guarantee deployment readiness on day one.

💡 PRO TIP 1 (Microphone Stand Safety): The M7 MKII microphone included in this kit is a high-sensitivity studio condenser that requires +48V phantom power from the AudioBox interface to function [INDEX]. To extend the lifespan of your equipment, always turn off the physical +48V button on the interface before plugging or unplugging your XLR cable

• 🛒 Missing a Spare? Don't let a faulty wire stop your session. Add a heavy-duty Balanced XLR Microphone Cable to your cart as a backup to keep your studio lab running smoothly. (A minimum length of 10' is recommended).

💡 PRO TIP 2 (Perfect Vocal Alignment): When setting up your bonus Samson pop filter, avoid placing the nylon mesh shield flush against the microphone grill. Use the flexible steel gooseneck to position the filter 2 to 4 inches away from the microphone to allow harsh air blasts to disperse safely.

• 🛒 Eradicate Room Noise: If you are tracking vocals or podcasts in a noisy classroom, open media lab, or shared dorm, add the Gator Frameworks 12×16” Microphone Isolation Shield to your order! It attaches effortlessly right behind your Samson stand, utilizing dense acoustic foam insulation to trap stray room reflections and block out ambient background chatter, giving you a crystal-clear, professional mini vocal booth anywhere you sit

💡 PRO TIP 3 (Eliminate Electronic Buzz & Line Noise): Working in a shared classroom or library space where loud speakers aren't allowed? Simply roll the master volume knob on your active Eris monitors down and crank up the headphone volume knob. This routes your entire multitrack project directly to the high-definition HD7 headphones in total isolation, keeping your workspace completely silent for everyone else in the room.

• 🛒 Upgrade to Studio-Grade Line Signal: Standard microphone cables pick up severe electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency buzz from nearby computers, smartboards, and cellphones. Upgrade your connection by adding a Warm Audio Pro Series Balanced StarQuad XLR Cable (10' or longer recommended) to your order! Built with premium Swiss-engineered wire stock and dual contrary-wrapped copper shields, it aggressively scrubs out ambient background hum to guarantee your vocal takes stay crystal-clear and flawlessly transparent under heavy lab workloads.
